HYDROCARBON GENERATOR AND BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,019, dated January 3l` 1888.

Application tiled August 9, 1886. Renewed December 16,1887. Serial No. 258,083. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.:

Be it known that I, JOHN I3. DEEDs, aciti- Zen of the United States, residing at Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon Generators and Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in hydrocarbon generators and burners; anditconsists, substantially, in such arrangement and combinations ot' parts as will hereinafter be more particularly described, and pointed ont in the claim.

In a former patent granted me on the 16th day of May, 1886, No. 312,189, I have set forth certain improvements in this class of inventions, and wherein the same comprises in its organization a retort divided into a central mixing-chamber and two outer vaporizing chambers,an cveloping shield, inlet-pipes, and a detleetor secured in the top of the mixingchamber. In order to more thoroughly adapt this burner to the uses for which it is designedthat is, for heating and cooking purposes-I have devised the present improvements, and which consist in locating in the top or side of the mixingchamber a removable perforated distributing-chamber, the connection or communication between the two being provided with a valve for regulating and controlling the degree of heat or name, the said distributingchamber also subset-ving the function of a detlector for the flame issuing from jets in the top of the mixing-chamber.

Before proceeding I would state that l am aware that hydrocarbon mixers and burners have heretofore been provided with perforated distributing chambers communicating with the interior thereof, and also that in some instances the said distributingchamber has been made removable; but I am not aware that a hydrocarbon burner and generator of the char acter herein described has ever been provided with a perforated distributirig-chamber having a valve-controlled connection by which the supply of mixed vaporized fluid may be shut off therefrom, and thus permit of the control of the degree of heat and flame.

The distributing-chamber may be of any weltknown shape or configuration; but preterably I employ the form herein represented, by which it also serves the function of a deiiector for thejets in the mixing-chamber. It will be understood, also, that the use of any well-known material may be resorted to in the manufacture ofthe several parts--thatis,either cast or Wrought metal.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 represents a central vertical sectional view of a hyd rocarbon-burner embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view of a cooking-stove, showing my improved burner as applied thereto for the purpose of heating.

Referring to the .severalv parts by letter, A represents the retort, which is divided into a central mixingchamber, a, and two outer vaporizing-chambers, b b, the two latter comnmnicatiug with the former through suitable openings, as shown.

B B represent the two pipes leading to the vaporizing-chambers, for supplying one with water and the .other with suitable hydrocarbon oil; and C indicates a valve-controlled pipe leading from the bottom ofthe mixing-chamber to a suitable burner, D, by which to continuously heat the retort for vaporizing the fluids.

E represents a pan located in the bottom of the retort, in which a suitable quantity of oil is placed and ignited when desired to start the burner.

The top of the mixing-chamber a is provided with jets or openings d, while about centrally thereofit is provided with au enlarged and threaded opening, in which is removably secured a pipe or tube, G, which connects the distribntingchamber with said mixiugchamber, as shown. The distributing-chamber is provided with any number ofjets or openings, c, at different parts of its body, while the connectingtube G is provided with a valve, K, by which the vaporized fiuid may be regulated in its supply to the distributer from the miX- ingchamber.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that if, by allowing the vapor to pass both IOO into the mixing and distributing chambers, the heat is too great, then all that is necessary is to simply shut oil' or reduce the supply to the latter chamber by operating the valve K. It will further be seen that the jets of flame issuing from the top of the mixing-chamber are deflected outwardly on all sides; further,

that little or no skillis required in the man-` agement, and that a burner embodying my invention is thoroughly adaptable to all the requirements incident to cooking and lheating purposes.

By referring to Fig. 2 of the drawings it will be seen that the aines issuing from the I5 jets c will impinge upon thc inner sides of the {ire-chamber of the stove O, and thus act to heat the same; also will it be seen that.some of the ilames will be deflected i-nto the space over the oven Q, keeping the latter warm for the purpose of baking. The door Pis for the purpose of enabling thel burner to be properly set or placed within the fireboX, after which,

the supply-pipes are connected. 'Ihese pipes pass through 'simple openings provided for them in the bottom of the fire-chamber, and

chamber, provided with a regulating-valve,V

said distributing-chamberbeing ofsuch dimensions and form as to act as a deflector for the flames issuing from the jets of said mixingchamber, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aiixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN B. DEEDS. .'Witnesses:
